I build worlds where darkness blooms and old myths crack open.
  I'm a writer and worldbuilder working across interconnected fantasy universes. My primary work here is The Tears of the Veil—an award-winning project spanning 250,000+ words of mythology, history, and living cultures. I'm also deep in Ironbluff, a dark romantasy novel headed for traditional publishing, and actively writing short fiction and poetry across fantasy, horror, and Southern Gothic.
  My worldbuilding has earned multiple World Anvil awards for prose, mythology, and depth. I write emotional slow burns, divine entanglements, and characters shaped by grief, wonder, and desire.
  A bit about me: I'm visually impaired, living with Retinitis Pigmentosa—a degenerative condition that hasn't stopped me from creating. I'm a devoted foodie, avid reader, happily married, and a passionate Dungeon Master. My two massive Labrador Retrievers keep me company while I write.
  I was raised in a house of fantasy and wonder where my parents nurtured my creativity. Now I build the worlds I needed to find.
  Here you'll find: Interconnected mythologies, award-winning articles, and stories that live in the spaces between light and shadow. There's magic waiting in the margins—come walk these worlds with me.
